Members Robert Rowe Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 I had asthma real bad when I was in elementary and junior-high. Missed a lot of school ... a lot. Parents took me to a respiratory specialist doctor. He advised them / me to take up a wind-instrument to strengthen my lungs. I did. I'm a trumpet / cornet / fluegelhorn / trombone / French horn player. Only get asthma very seldom (usually, due to environmental conditions).

Members outland Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 Guys, :poke: before you start recommending brass-playing as a cure for asthma, maybe you should check with a few doctors. I've heard that there some cases that wind-playing will help and other cases that will simply be aggravated by the exertion. I say this with no authority, mind you, this is just an anecdotal exchange. But OTOH, if brass-playing isn't a universal cure for asthma, I know I wouldn't want someone's getting worse to be on my conscience.

Members Robert Rowe Posted June 27, 2008 Members Share Posted June 27, 2008 Robt: I did. I'm a trumpet / cornet / fluegelhorn / trombone / French horn player. What, no tuba? No. I have trouble with music written in the bass clef. Not too much of a problem with Trombone, as the slide is moved to "positions". All other brass has three (sometimes four) valves, either rotary, or perinet (piston). I get confused with fast passages (in the bass-clef) ... trying to remember the fingerings; slip-up, and think I'm in the treble-clef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If bass clef is the only problem then you should join a British Brass Band, everybody reads treble clef:thu:. Just got back from a week long session with the Colorado Brass Band on my Eb tuba and had a blast as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, didn't know that. I am better on the treble clef rather than the bass clef, but I don't struggle with either.

Members outland Posted July 2, 2008 Members Share Posted July 2, 2008 Don't take anything on this forum too seriously. Oh, I don't know that I do, Mr. Basser, sir. But I hate to think that I passed on information that could potentially make someone else's medical condition more serious. Thanks for the advice, however. Much appreciated. Happy Fourth of Julie.
